About the Item

This unusual and interesting center table was produced in France, during the middle of the latter half of the 19th century. It was during this time that French furniture makers, designers, carvers, and carpenters were able to freely re-imagine and re-interpret the various styles of the preceding centuries. We can see influences of the Louis XIV, Regence and LXV periods in the rams heads, cabriole legs, hoof feet, and mascarons. The table was constructed with rich and beautiful walnut, and it has retained an exceptional patina for a 19th century piece. All 4 sides are shaped, carved, and decorated with a mix of moldings, rams’ heads, fleur de lys, and mascarons, while the shaped acanthus decorated legs terminate in hoof feet. A layer of French wax has been applied, and after a careful polishing, the depth of the patina and beauty of the graining has come to life. Today, this interesting French table would make for a wonderful center table or writing table.

Antique Carved Oak and Bluestone Regence Style Console from Flanders, Circa 1850
Located in Dallas, TX
Hand-carved circa 1850 in the northern reaches of France, known as French Flanders, this oak console or “table a Gibier” has a lovely black bluestone top with white and gray veining. The 1 ½ inch thick top, which has an inverted quarter-round molding, is supported by four long, cabriole legs adorned with elements inspired by nature, such as roquillards, rosettes, floral and foliate margents, and hoof feet. Horizontal margents on the front belt are overshadowed by the elaborate embellishments below. A central carving depicts an Apolline mascaron set within an attenuated leaf wreath, evoking a sense of classical elegance. Below the medallion is a sprawling pierced foliate apron, which is also seen on the sides, but less grand in scale. The stretcher, as is customary with Regence-style furniture, has a modified, serpentine X-stretcher with a center rosette. Given the transitional nature of the Regence period in French history, our bluestone top console...
